Do you love your job?
Options
I recently spoke to someone who was shocked that I actually enjoy my job (I'm an epidemiologist) and it made me wonder if I'm in the minority? I went back to get my master's degree to do this and truly enjoy what I do.
So I ask, do you like your job and if you do, did actively pursue this job or did you just fall into it?

I just fell into my job and I absolutely love it. I am pretty spoiled.1

I love my job. You don't spend all the time for undergrad and law school without loving it or hating your entire life.
But every day I get to make the world better for animals through the legal system, I couldn't ask for a better life.6 -
Mmmm? love is such a strong word though.1

Love is strong. I enjoy what I do (accounting) but getting up and doing the same thing with the same people every day? I would win the lottery if I could.3

I like aspects of my current job. I get to program controls or make recommendations on projects that have tangible savings and benefits, and when I get to couple that with green technologies, that's pretty cool (I'm a utilities analyst/engineering tech). I do miss the job I went to school and made a career of, though. I can't play anymore (nerve disorder in half my face) but I still write music, so I'm still in the field that I love, but I miss performing.1

Pshhhh1

i like the idea of my job better than actually doing it. i gave up being an attorney, which i hated (despite actually enjoying law school) to move into the arts. things could be better. i used to love my job before the latest bosses.0

If I won the lottery, I wouldn't quit my job.
Quitting takes time and energy.
I just wouldn't show up ever again; they would eventually get the idea that I no longer work here.7 -

Really neat!0 -
It's frustrating sometimes and the pay is *kitten*, but overall I love it because I feel like I'm making a difference in people's life.1
-
Enjoy it sometimes, but love it? No.
Some days I barely tolerate it, but I like things, you know, like electricity and food so I deal.6 -
Love love love my job. There are days of course but I get to go to work every day and talk hunting or shoot bows. Who wouldn't love that?0
-
Yes, overall I love my job....relative to how much I could possibly "love" a job. It's not my life, but I can honestly say I've never woken up in the morning dreading going. Winning.1

I do not dread going to work everyday. That's enough for me. Work to live not live to work.4
-
I definitely enjoy my job, I don't know about love it. I'd love it if it paid more. But I really do like what I do and I don't mind going into work every day.
I actually kind of fell into my job, my undergrad is in an ENTIRELY different field.0
